ci(workflows): presence-gate mirror SSH steps + correct registry-verify licence

[hyperpolymath]

What

Two workflow-hardening / hygiene fixes flagged by the Hypatia scan.

1. mirror-reusable.yml — presence-gate the SSH secret (Hypatia secret_action_without_presence_gate, high)

Each forge job (GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, SourceHut, Disroot, Gitea) ran webfactory/ssh-agent gated only on vars.<FORGE>_MIRROR_ENABLED, so an enabled-but-keyless mirror would feed an empty key to the action and fail. Added if: ${{ secrets.<FORGE>_SSH_KEY != '' }} to both the ssh-agent step and its push step in all 6 jobs — matching the existing Radicle pattern in the same file. Now a mirror with no configured key is a clean no-op instead of a hard failure.

2. registry-verify.yml — licence correction (owner-directed)

SPDX AGPL-3.0-or-later → MPL-2.0. It was the only one of 28 workflows on AGPL; this aligns it with its siblings and the repo's sole-owner MPL-2.0 classification, and clears Hypatia's agpl_license finding.

Not changed (Hypatia false positives, documented)

• scorecard_publish_with_run_step on scorecard-enforcer.yml — the publish job (scorecard) is already uses-only, with the threshold check split into a downstream check-score job (there's a comment documenting exactly this). Hypatia flags run: steps elsewhere in the file without scoping to the job.
• unpinned_action — every uses: is SHA-pinned; Hypatia truncates the SHA and mis-flags. (Foundational fix tracked for the Hypatia repo.)

Verification

• Both files parse (PyYAML); registry/topology still in sync.
• Diff: +13 / −1, two files.

Flagged, not swept

Other AGPL-3.0-or-later SPDX headers remain in scripts/*.sh and .github/FUNDING.yml. Per the manual-only / no-bulk-SPDX guardrail I did not sweep them — surfacing for an explicit decision on whether they should also go to MPL-2.0.
